Hewlett-Packard Photosmart C5180 3.00

Explain star rating

RRP

$299.00

Review Date

Thursday, 5th of July, 2007

What's Hot

Vibrant colour in photo prints, well-priced, built-in Ethernet connection, 2.4in colour LCD screen

What's Not

PictBridge support is lacking, black looked slate-grey in our tests, colours looked dull on plain paper

The Final Word

The well-priced Photosmart C5180 has much to offer for printing photos and for sharing on a small network. It delivers high-quality glossy photos, but its plain-paper photo prints are not great.
